<p><strong>Airs Thursday, May 14, at 8 p.m.</strong>&nbsp;People who love jazz singing seem to always be hoping to discover the next Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan or Ella Fitzgerald. Until very recently, the only contemporary jazz singer who came close to matching these three giants is the extraordinary Dianne Reeves, that is, until the emergence of Cecile McLorin Salvant. At age 24, this astoundingly gifted singer has perfect pitch and enunciation, a playful sense of humor, a rich and varied tonal palette, and a supple sense of swing.Fri, 15 May 2015 01:00:00 +000060427 at http://redriverradio.orgSavannah Music Festival: Cecile McLorin SalvantSavannah Music Festival: Chico Pinheiro Quintethttp://redriverradio.org/post/savannah-music-festival-chico-pinheiro-quintet
<p><strong>Airs Thursday, April 18 at 8 p.m.&nbsp;</strong><span style="line-height: 1.5;">Brazilian music has produced many creative composers and a wealth of great guitarists, but rarely do these talents reside within the same individual. One such exception is the brilliant young musician Chico Pinheiro, who was born in Sao Paolo in 1974, and has distinguished himself as a remarkable presence both in and outside the Brazilian music scene. In this episode, we listen to a 2011 SMF performance of Mr. Pinheiro with his quintet, including a duet performance with Romero Lubambo and a special guest appearance by jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves.&nbsp;</span></p><p>Fri, 19 Apr 2013 01:00:00 +000026272 at http://redriverradio.orgSavannah Music Festival: Chico Pinheiro Quintet
